- Increased hospital admissions โ More tertiary care hospitals in and around Bilaspur translate to higher institutional sales.
- Doctor density โ A strong base of MBBS, MD, MS, and specialist practitioners drives prescription volumes.
- Pharmacy retail boom โ Both organised pharmacy chains and independent chemists are expanding rapidly.
